Chapter 114 Great, everyone's alright... How come one person is missing!?
The fifth squad unanimously agreed that there was a problem with the intelligence.
After leaving Konoha, they spent three days traveling to the border.
Without spending too much time resting, they immediately went to the nearest office.
This private agency was established by a Konoha ninja.
He worked under an assumed name in the capital for many years to save enough money to become a private investigator in a foreign country.
The reason why Class 5 chose to rush over immediately was because the other party's business was not doing well and he often stayed in the firm, so if they went there, there was a high probability that he would be there.
The result... nobody was there!
The fifth squad was completely confused, but they still continued on to the next stronghold.
In the end... no one came.
After failing to find anyone three or four more times, the fifth squad began to suspect that all the informants recorded on the scroll had run into trouble.
But if the informant really did get into trouble, why were there no signs of fighting at any of the crime scenes?
Each scene was equally bizarre: no bloodstains, no signs of battle, but the intelligence documents that should have been stored at the base had also vanished.
Did they evacuate in advance? If so, why didn't they notify Konoha before evacuating? Is the situation really that critical?
Class 5 was completely baffled by this.
Even the experienced Tsunade frowned the whole way, unable to find the answer to the question.
The intelligence agency in front of them, located in a secluded alley and disguised as a barbershop, was their last hope for this mission.
As the distance gets closer.
They saw the open door.
"This door... is it open?" Kurenai asked in surprise and doubt.
They visited so many strongholds, but all the doors were locked and no one responded. After breaking through with brute force, the houses were all empty.
Tsunade frowned, about to say something, when she suddenly sensed a massive amount of chakra.
Right inside the house!
That chakra... is above hers!
Tsunade's heart sank. She strode up to Kurenai and whispered, "Everyone on alert!"
But before she could finish speaking, she already felt that chakra erupt from the spot and rush towards her!
hum! !
In an instant, the dark fist loomed large in her vision with a whooshing sound. Tsunade's pupils contracted slightly, and she instinctively raised her arm to block.
BOOM!
The two fists collided, and the explosive roar seemed to shatter eardrums. The shockwave from the collision instantly blew the GG on the wall away, and even the wall itself began to tremble.
The next second, the entire barbershop collapsed with a roar.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Without hesitation, Tsunade retracted her fist, stepped on the fallen rubble, and used the momentum to teleport to the open space outside the house.
Glass, stone pillars, walls—everything in sight crumbled in mid-air, turning the entire space into ruins in the blink of an eye!
"Cough cough..."
'
The scattered dust forced her to cover her mouth and cough, but Tsunade had no time to care, instead staring blankly at the ruins.
"Ike...Kurenai...Kakashi?"
At that moment, what immediately came to her mind was not how to fight, but the loved ones she had lost and the tragic deaths of the members of Class 5.
Images flashed through her mind, and once they arose, they could never be erased.
"Where are you!?"
She cried out in panic, her originally clear voice sounding somewhat hoarse due to the floating dust.
But no one responded.
call out-
A cold wind suddenly cut through the air. Tsunade turned her head slightly and saw that a shuriken was already at her ear, about to strike her right temple.
Ding!
Just as she was about to raise her hand to shield her eyes, everything suddenly went dark.
A somewhat slender figure appeared out of nowhere and instantly appeared beside her.
The crisp sound of metal clashing rang out, and dazzling sparks flew in the night, illuminating the boy's clean and clear eyes.
"You..." Looking into the boy's clear, amber eyes, Tsunade's heart trembled slightly, but the taut string in her mind finally relaxed.
I'm glad you're alright.
"Tsunade-sensei, I'm so glad you're alright."
As if repeating her inner thoughts, Uchiha Ike held up a kunai in front of her and looked back.
It was only when she turned to the side that Tsunade noticed that Uchiha Ike's movements were not quite natural.
Are you injured?
Tsunade subconsciously looked at Uchiha Ike.
Just then, their eyes met those of Kurenai Yuhi, whom Uchiha Ike was holding in one arm.
Clearly, because the house collapsed so suddenly, Uchiha Ike had no choice but to use this method to bring Kurenai Yuhi out in a moment of emergency.
But it still feels so strange.....
Tsunade couldn't help but glance at it a couple more times.
"Sensei, are you alright...?" Noticing Tsunade's gaze, Kurenai looked over with concern.
"I'm fine, it's good that you're all alright." Tsunade waved her hand, her tone somewhat strange.
"Don't worry, we're fine too." Uchiha Ike's smile faded, and he said seriously, "But teacher, please be extra careful and don't get hurt... otherwise, things could get very complicated."
If Tsunade's hemophobia were to flare up during the battle, it would be a devastating blow to their side.
Tsunade paused for a moment. She had actually noticed the shuriken earlier and had plenty of time to knock it away.
But for some reason, she didn't refute it. Instead, she nodded to Uchiha Ike and said, "I understand."
"Then I'm relieved." Upon receiving Tsunade's reply, Uchiha Ike smiled again, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way..." He raised an eyebrow, then looked down and said, "Shouldn't you get down? You're a bit heavy."
"I'm not heavy, okay?!" Yuhi jumped down, her face flushed.
The three stood in the open space, watching the dust rise from the ruins, and fell into a brief silence.
The atmosphere should be tense right now, but for some reason, it feels a bit strange, like something's wrong.
"By the way, where's Kakashi?"
Tsunade was the first to realize the problem.
Uchiha Ike gasped, looking at Yuhi Kurenai: "Yeah, where's Kakashi?"
Kurenai Yuhi looked completely bewildered: "I didn't even have time to react before you took me away. How am I supposed to know where he is?"
Could it be...?
The remaining three members of Class 5 fell silent.
But at that moment...
A familiar muffled groan came from within the dust.
The next second, a figure flew out of the ruins at high speed, brushed past Uchiha Ike, and was directly embedded into the wall by the powerful inertia.
"Kakashi, you're not dead?" Uchiha Ike asked in surprise as he saw the figure in the wall.
Kakashi looked like a tiny figure carved out of a green screen in a film crew, his right hand holding a short sword stuck in the ground, kneeling on the open ground.
His clothes were tattered and covered in knife marks, clearly indicating that he had been through a fierce battle.
Upon hearing the sound, Kakashi suddenly looked up, staring at him as if he had seen a ghost.
"Are you all alright!?"
That was the first thing he blurted out.
"Then why didn't you come to help!?"
That was the second sentence he blurted out.
